Long-time vice president for developmentuniversity relations H. Gerald Quigg has decided to retire after 28 years of service. He leaves his position officially July I, but will continue to work part-time with the University as a senior consultant for the next several

years Quigg came to the University in 1969 to organize a development office after the Robins family made their historic $;o million gift. Under his leadership, the University raised about $300 million in three major campaigns and two law school campaigns, plus anothtT S100 million from gifts outside campaigns.

In addition to establishing development efforls al UR, Quigg served as chief universily relations officer. lie oversaw the restruc1uring of the alumni offices and establishment of the first comprehensive public relations program at the Universitv. In 1992 he directcd the campus-wide tc'am charged \vith hosting the presidential debate. uJerry has provided the University with exceptional leadership of his areas of responsibility," said President Richard Morrill in announcing thc administrative changes, ''and we will continue to benefit from his advice and exemplary professionalism in lhe future.~ Quigg also will develop a private consulting practice in the field of fund raising, serving nonprofit organizations.

Promoted to the position of vice president for devclopmcnt-university relations is D. Chris Withers, formerly associate vice president for development. lie has served the University in various fond-raising capacities for 27 years.

life journey brings

In his talks with students, Waite shared his life story.

A former social worker and minister, \''hitc was working as an tditor in ?-,lewYork City whtn a friend invited him to an acting class. lie txplained,"That first night lofthe classl,I was fascinated with acting It's a chance to tell tales that show what it is to live joyfully, to live tragically, just to livc! Waite joined the acting class while he continued working as an tditor. lit starred in an off-Broadway production of 1/ogan's Goat with Faye Dunaway.

From there, he went to Hollpvood, where he had a role in Cool Hand Luke.TI1cn came the pan of John Walton in tht series crtated by Earl Hamner, R"44.

During his \\lalton years, Waite wrote, directed and produced a feature film, On the Nickel. He also appeared in many television shows and movies. However, most of the roles offered to him were for"nicc , gentle, kind, responsible father s, like John Walton ."

Tired of·'telling tales with liule meaning,"\Vaite left Hollvwood "to live in the desert" of Palm Springs.

The~, he involved himself in the community, something he had missed during his acting years. "An actor must move to continue working. A working actor never is in one place long enough to get a sense of communitv."

In Palm Springs, Waite kd ;1 coalition to improve housing for the migrant labortrs and worked in programs to solve problems with drug and alcohol abuse. In 1990, he ran for Congress and came within four percentage points of beating the incumbent.

Afttr the election.Waite returned to New York and acting. lie hoped to play King I.tar sometime; that rime came with a call from IJR associate professor of theatre Walter Schoen.

"I love doing Lear because r want to hear Lear speak to me. I want to fed his passion. In doing Lear, I get in touch with my own humanity and I kt that infuse the character,"Waitc explained.

Waite hopes to reprise the role in other productions and workshops and has instrnctcd his agent to look for o ther opportunities to play King Lear.

assistant professor of art and chairman in the department of an and art historr. For 20 years, he was the only art historian in the department. During this time, he taught a!I of the requ ired courses for the art history major.

He's known bv students and faculty alik~ for his teaching "He can delve into an individual painting or sculpture and stay there until he has c:xcavated larers and layers of meaning," said Ephraim Rubenstein, associate profess.or of art, in his lcuer nominating Johnson for the award."And then he passes on to his students and colleagues the frnits of his understanding joyfully and openly because he is a naturnl and unstoppable teacher."

"Smdems note that in an art history classroom.

Charles Johnson comes to life with a v:ibrnncy and enthusiasm for art history that is entirely stimulating," said President Richard Morrill in his letter of support. ''The n:markable quality of the eurrem an department is a rt:sult in no small measure of the exceptional leader5hip that Charles has pro\ided for the

past couple of decades."

"My job here has been teaching and developing the dcpartmcnt,"Johnson says. "The challenge was to develop courses adequate to serve general students as well as majors who wished to go on to do graduate work." Since he became department chair in 1967, the art department has grown from one full-time faculty member to six Although he 's taught art history at CR for decades, he's also been involved in church music. He holds a master's degree in sacred music from Union Theological Seminary's School of Sacred Music in New York City. At various times he has been a church organist and choir director.

The University's Marsh Art Gallery attra<.:ted thousands of vbitors when it presented the Metropolitan Museum of Art's trnvding exhibition, "Still Life:llte Object in American Art, 1915-1995." Scheduled from Jan. 11 through March 2, the show was extended an extrn week More than 400 students auended the opening event, "Meet the Met,"and weekends saw 300-400 visitors each dav. In addition, student groups from the Richmond area and from other colleges and universities came to sec the exhibition in its first stop on a nationwide tour.

Sponsored hy Philip .\lnrris Companies Inc., the exhibition featured 66 paintings representing 59 notable artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol. Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis. Mark Tansey,Jennifer Bartlett.

Horace Pippin,James Rosenquist and Richmond 's Nell Blaine "An exhibition of this caliber retJuires very good funding and an outstanding facility," says gallery dirt:ctor ruchard Waller. "'llte funding <.:ame from Philip Morris, which has a long history of supporting the arts. We were able to attrnct an exhibition of this scale because of the improved and expanded space the gallery has in the new Modlin Center for the Arts."

The exhibition arrnngcd the works in six thematic groupings: Still Life and the Umdscapc, HanTst Hums and Bountiful Settings, Flower Paintings, Interiors and Genre Sccncs,Tahle Still Life, and the Iconic Object.

Each grouping, however, included a variety of subjects and very differing styles To complement the show, the gallery offered several related events: an educators' workshop for local art teacher5, who each rcceh·ed a pa<.:kage of lessons and slides about the exhibition; a one-woman play about American artist Georgia O'Keeffe, written and performed by Lucinda McDermott; and poetry readings in the gallery by faculty members A public lecture on still life by Lowery Stokes Sims, curator of 20th-century art at the Metropolitan Museum and co-curntor of the exhibition, was followed by a concert of American still-life music performed by CURRENTS, the new-music ensemble directed by Dr. Fred Cohen, associate professor of music After its premiere in the Marsh Gallery, the exhibition travels to galleries in Arkansas, California, Oklahoma and

Will wins leadership award The Women Involved in Living and I.earning (WILL) Program recently won national recognition when it received the 1997 Annual Leadership Award from theAmtrican Council on Education's National Network for Women Leaders in Higher Education.

"The rnicw committee: was extraordinarily impressed with the goals of the program and iL'> comprchensivcncss,"wrote Lucie Lapovsky, chair of the network's executive board, in her letter informing \l;rJLL coordinator Holly Blake of the honor. '111e award was presented offidally at the ACE annual meeting in V:l;t,;hington, D.C., in February.

Initiated in 1980, the WILL program is intended to promote: women ·s self-esteem and self.confidence; foster an understanding of women's roles in and contributions to society; advance an awareness of and strategies for coping with gendcr-rdated obstacles; and provide opportunities for exploring career and life choices.

"WILL is unique,dynamic and powerful.There is nothing comparable to it in the Lnitcd States," Blake says. "WILL women arc more self.assured.

They stand up for what they believe.TI1ey·re strong ··And, there 's a real bonding that takes place among the participants. Women in WILL also arc active in other organizations, but the rdationship between WILL participants is incredibly deep becauseWlLL is about life and life choices, and who we are as people.

"The effect of the program is cumulative and transfonnative."

Open to 30 women from each class, the progrnm offers a four-year curriculum of women's studies courses complemented with workshops and lectures led by visiting scholars and performances by visiting artists. In addition to the academic component, the program features mentoring of younger women by members of the upper classes, counseling on career and life choices, and internships. Interested women apply as first-year students.

WlU.'s impact extends beyond its participants.

Women's studies classes and manyWIU events are open to all UR students and to interested members of the Richmond community on a spaceavailable basis.

In addition, \VTU sen'es as a model for other colkges and universities that want to devise similar programs for their students.

n 1998-99, LIR President Richard L. Morrill will get his first sabbatical after 30 years in higher education.

That one-year leave-a time to study, to travel, 10 read widely-will be part of Morrill's tr.t.11sition from university president to University Professor, a move announced at the March 7 meeting of the Board of

Trustees.

Immediately following that meeting Morrill told a campus-wide audience in the Jepson Theatre of the Modlin Center for the Arts that his wife Martha had married him not just for better or for worse hut for his sabbaticals, and now he was finally getting

one.

After nearly IO years as UR president and IO more as president at Salem College and Centre College, Morrill told the audience he felt the timing was right for him to retire from the top spot and to return to the classroom That timing acknowledges that at the end

of next year the Univer.;ity will have comple1ed both a second five-year strategic planning process and a reaccreditation self• study. Rather than commit to a third five-year contract, Morrill felt that a new president should be the one to launch the nex1 planning process and the next capi1al campaign Being president has been an all-consuming occupation and preoccupation for Morrill "For many years now I've had a very determined commitment to a demanding position in which I spend enormous amount'> of time and energy trying to reach certain goals for the organization,'' he said in a recent interview for the magazine. ··The challenge of leading an academic organi7.ation invades e\"el)' facet of a presiden!'s waking hours ·· \";~1ile the position has brough1 him ··great joy," said Morrill, it has left Uttlc time for himself "\'!;'hen you're the president. there's nL'ver a moment you're not the president. There's never a rnomen1 that you can be free from some potential problem. Teaching is a fully involving and demanding activity, but it doesn't have that range of answer.ibility, of constant institutional responsibility.

"I think one of the things that you begin to miss most when you serw for as long as I

Page JO + \X11NTrR 1997

have in three different college presidencies is freedom. You lose control over your calendar for most of the ve-,1r.

You already know on SePt. I what you'll be doing for at least half the days of the academic year, with no choice as to those events and obligations. So what I relish is a much gre-ater ability to direct my time and energy toward a wide variety of interests."

W

hat he wants to o with the newund freedom that will come with his sabbatical is to spend some time abroad and to study, read and write. "'Martha and I arc both anxious to spend some of our time, but bv no means all, living three or four months in Paris. We expect to spend some of that time going to museums, concerts, plays, films, and taking advantage of an extraordinarily rich cultural calendar that is available in that city."

It's not just concerts and plays, however, that make the Morrills so anractcd to the City oflight~.

"It's really the experience of another culrnre that's so compelling," MorriUsaid.

"It happens that, at an early age, I learned to speak French well enough to be entirely fluent and I've kept up with it over the years.

"When vou have the abilitv to communicate cffccti~·cly in another lan~tage the whole world opens to you. You have access to a people, a culture, and a history other than your own. So, ironically, you understand yourself better and your country better when you can enter dL>cply into the lives of others.

"Also, we have so much personal experience invested in that country that we·ve developed a whole set of associations and friendships. '"But we also want to travel, to see things ancl places where we've never been." Greece and Turkey are high on the MorriUs' itinernl)'.

Morrill also plans to rc-,1d widely: "I savor the chance to have at lc-.tst a month or two e-.i.ch year when 1'11 be free to read books

beyond my current list of report~ and financial statements.•· HeisJJarticularly interested in ·'books related to other countries, to art, philosophy, history, to things in my field of religious thought and ethics that I have not been able to read for quite a few years now. " "I obviously plan also to be involved in some stuclies of my own related to the teaching that I will do when I return and to some of my continuing interests in higher education around the world."

Morrill knows his calendar won't completely free up. 'Tm a member of something like a dozen different boards and advisory groups in Richmond and beyond, all of which I greatly enjoy, and I plan to be active on all of tl1cm.'"

As University Professor, Morrill will be able to teach in any department or progr.1111 "thal will have me," he joked to the audience in March. For now, he is focusing on the core course, the intensive introduction to college-level work in the humanities for first-year students. '"I'm intrigued by teaching freshmen, Morrill said, "because I think that is such a pivotal point in the evolution of a college student's experience. I would like to assist students in making the transi{ion into college life, and I think the core course is one vehicle for that.

'Tm also intrigued by the fact that all students in the entering class are taking that one course, so it offers the prospect for the development of a true intellectual communitv.·· Morrill has worked with the faculty and the deans in helping to support tlie course through grants and other funds, so he feels a personal investment in it.

He also likes the over.ill design of the course, the selected readings--texts from East Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, as well as from Europe and North America-and the "effort to involve students in active conversation abom great work~."

like all core course professors, Morrill would apply to teach the course and would participate in a seminar for those who are teaching it for the first time.

At the uni\·ersity-\\ide meeting, Austin Brockenbrough Ill, 8'62 and the University's rector, called Morrill the "best presidem in America today: · He pr-J.iscd the "continued improvement ofUR's academic program, it'> commitme111 to students, and its strong base of financial support" '"During Morrill's tenure,"' Brockenbrough said, "the [niversity has, simply stated, advanced itself on all froms."

Dr. Richard A. <.;outo, professor ofleadership studies in the Jepson School, said to Morrill after the meeting: "'You're the only person I know who has been president of three colleges and who is still welcome at all three."

I

n an era in which one college president said recently, '·Being a college president is politics, politics, politics with a little good judgment thrown in," Morrill has managed to accomplish a great deal while maintaining the respect of many and varied constituencies.

Ask him how he does it, and he will tell you: strategic planning. ··What l\e tried to do over the years is to address an underlying tension in the basic values of academic organizations by using a collaborative method of strategic decision making. The process involves a lot of gathering of information that always begins with a careful listening to all members of the community as to their sense of what the major issues are.

"Then the task is to distill a sense of the common threads that bind the institution together. I call this part of the process 'learning the story. ' And then, as president, teWngit. ·'what the president should do is find the story, not invent it. And having found it, he

should give it some greater coherence, perhaps a new s~mthesis. But, having done that, he should give it back, because it properly belongs to the community.

"Out of the story come the directions for the institution and the major priorities that need to be addressed for the furure. Resources can then be allocated rationally according to a clear sense of priority that gives people confidence that resources are both being sough! and used in a disciplined way."

Morrill believes the Universitv's stor-.' is one "filled with possibilities." It is a pla~e that "can aspire to he the national benchmark institution for private undergraduate universities that do not offer the Ph.D." '"There are all kinds of characteristics that define who we arc;· he added. ''As an undergraduate institution with a strong commitment to bolh liberal and professional education and wilh a school of law, we should he a model of connectedness among our schools and disciplines. Our aim is to educate students by transfonning them through connecting intellectual and

M d

lopment "

orrill believes one of the hallmark'>of his administration has been the development of the collaborative strategic decision-making process.

The ability to develop such a process "is certainly a characteristic that many people would sec as distinctive," Morrill said. ';Om of that process have come all kinds of priorities that are pretty obvious."

"Some of those have to do with the heavy flow of resources to the academic program, the enlargement of the faculty and the development of a series of new academic programs.

"We've also had a priority to enlarge the diversity of the campus and make sure that the doors of opportunity swing entirely open so that our students and faculty and staff would have a mix of backgrounds that

rcflccL" the current world."

As part of that commitment, Morrill said, "we've strengthened our financial aid programs dramatically and have improved the effort'> of our energetic international education program as well.·· "Finally, I'd have to say that the University's financial position both in Lhe way we use our resources as well as the way we\e acquired them has grown in strength far beyond the competition.''

Many would say that the Modlin Center for the Arts is President Morrill"s legacy, but he sees the magnificent nL'W facility as part of a broader picture: "Well, you know, some people would look at the Modlin Center as something Lhat is my special legacy, and I would say that it probably would not have happened had I not seen that as a particular need at the lime. But the circumstances were right, Lhe need was there. We had to address the issue.

"There have been similar kinds of opportunities, whether in the new alumni center, the planned renovation of the Robins School of Business, the expansion of the law school or the creation of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies. The Modlin Center may be the most vivid example bm it's not unlike the work that a university president is doing constantly.

"I think what's distinctive about the arts center is not just the splendid facility but the whole concept of a center as more than the sum of the parts, as having a public face as well as facilities for campus use."

Beyond the classroom, Morrill believes he can use his experience as president to the advantage of the University: "I think that at the Uni\"ersity of Richmond, former presidenl~ assume a place in the life of the community, and that is the expectation that I know the board has of me."

"Obviously I would do anything within my power to assist the University in the future and I would expect to help in fund raising and public relations. Over the years I have developed lots of relationships and contacts that I will put at the disposal of the University and the next president."

A liberal art,; university should be producing "wellrounded citizens," and a good liberal arts education in this day and age must include an understanding and appreciation of technology, lloyle says. ,;It doesn't take away from our other goals such as critical thinking and reasoning and appreciation of fine art," Hoyle says of teaching student~ how to use computers and other high-tech tools.

Hoyle says technology will improve students' research skills, enhance communication between faculty and student~, and make classroom instruction bcuer. He doesn't, however, plan to change the way he teaches.

"One of the wonderful things about teaching in college is we're not all trying to be clones of each other," he says.

"I teach as close to the way Socrates taught 2,400 years ago as I possibly can. I walk in wilh a piece of chalk and a board and ask them a bunch of questions, and we go just as hard as we can for 50 minutes.

"And ifl didn't have chalk," Hoyle says, "I could do it in the sand."

Regardless of the methods used, rhe real goal of the school is to push students to become "active learners," says Dr. Sanmel R. Gray, the business school's associate dean for graduate programs and an :L~sistant professor of management. ''The old style of teaching was the lecture format, 1' Gray says. ''You went into'a classroom, lectured to students, they took down notes and

t's fine with students.

Siri Terjesen, BW'97, says the heightened use of technology-particularly as it applies to the World Wide Web and the Imernet-will enable students to find the latest infonnation as they conduct research for case studies.

"So much of business is what's curren(,".;she says, "but with some of the cases we study now, the infonnation might be from two or three years ago. This will bring eve1ythi11g up to date. The new resources arc really going to help."

The technology also will assist students in preparing and making presentations. For e.xample, with the coming technology, students will be able to develop text aJJ.d graphics on computers, which would then be readily available to other student§ and professors on their computt;rs.

"The qualiry' Qfstudents' presentatiooS WillteaUY sk)TOcket," Tetjesen says. "It'll be a lot rnctri;profes.'iiQnal.

That's one of the bfg goals of the business School-to prepare us for life outside."

Overall, she says, the renovations will enijance the school's image and the feeling among students, faculty, alumni-and prospective students and their parents, "1 think, it'Qbe wonderful. lt's too bad-f'm graduating before it all happens," she says with a laugh.

Dean New ~ays the reaction of people in the business wodd to the greater use oftechnology at the Robins School ha$ been extremely positive and supportive.

"It's been overwhelmingly, 'This is what you need to be doing,' " New says.

DY Careful admission effort creates first-year class "Each year I designed a new class, named all my students and kept a careful record of their grades and improvements ... ," relates firstyear student Maressa Smith in the essay that accompanied her application for admission to the Cniversitv of Richmond's Class of 2000. That essay, memories of a fantasy classroom and a little girl's dreams of teaching, spoke to the UR admission staff of commitment and zeal, telling tl1em that Smith was a creative, dedicated individual who would fit smoothly and auspiciously into UR's student community.

Thecla<;scs summers of Smith's childhood existed only on paper, but she and her dreams thrived "in an imaginary world where! had complete control, where every decision was my decision ..

Each vear Pam Spence, deaa or undergraduate admission, and her eight admission office colleagues also create a class, with like zeal and similar omnipotence. ThL'Y people it v,ith their choices, adding names and keeping records, building on paper a class that the;· hope will

coalesce into a rea.1-lifc community.

"We take this work

cants."

admission, "and it's extremely important to us that we make the best possible

eye on a1Tiving firstyear students. How well those students settle in \\ill gauge how Kevin Scotto well UR's admission policies work. Will the new class fulfill expectations? And will

the University meet expectations of its nc·w students? "'Our choices are not determined by academics alone;' says Spence. '"Students who apply here now are all of such high caliher that ch ere are very few who could not do the work. But we have to realize that only one out of eight will actually enroll.

"We arc guided by the University's strategic plan, which challenges this office to bring in the best and the brightest, to build a diverse community of ideas, talents, abiuties and experiences,'" says Spence.

But the mandate was otherwise when Spence arrived as an assistant director of admission in 1975. "I was told then," she recalls, " 'We need this many students to mc>ct the budget. ' Now we're selecting student'i as opposed to enrolling them.

Now we have the luxury of sa}ing, 'We need so many valedictorians, athletes, people of color, children of alumni.'

"Are there students being denied with stronger profiles than some who are admitted? Yes. But can a student \\ith a less impressive record bring something else to the University?

Can he or she play Brahms, make a three-point shot, help balance the male/female ratio, add an international element?"

The secondary school record still counts about 50 percent. But after grades and scores, activities and recommendations, what else is important? At UR, it"s the personal essay. "That essay is a canvas," says Gruber, "a chance to show us something about yourself to scparatC you from the friends you sit with ;tt lunch."

The admission staff pulled from last year's appUcations five essays that they considered memorable.

So how are the writers faring in the UR environment?

I had made the right choice. There was no terrible transition. I felt immediately at home."'

L'R has held few surprises for Smith. '"Classes are challenging, teachers arc excellent, just as I expected. 1am surprised lhat college is more of a life-changing experience than I expected. Every day there are these incredible conversations, exchanges of thought'i mid ideas. '"I don "t think there \\ill ever be another time in my life when I'm with so many people sharing the same circumstances.

We're all away from home, writing papers, questioning things, cliscussing, arguing. '"When you get to college, you don't have those interactions you had at home that have always defined who you arc: your family, home, church, school, neighborhood. When you go away,

Maressa Smith from Chagrio Falls, Ohio, considers herself and UR a perlect fit. "I always thought I would stay close to home for college, hut my second \iSit to UR changed my mind.

you stand alone. You work it out for yourself. This has been so interesting for me."

Smith still plans to teach and, indeed, is already teaching with the Carver Promise, a tutoring and mentoring program that matches up students at [R with elementary pupils at an inner-city school. Among her other activities, she's involved in lnterVarsitv Christian Fellowship and is a pledge in the· Delta Gamma sorority.

noted his efforts in high school to promote Amnesty lnternational's Political Disappearances campaign, his support of Human Right~ Day, and participation in forums and poster campa.i).\fls promoting human rights. ("One of the first things we look for in essavs is commitment," saY5 Gruber.)

Scotto, a Pennsylvania native, continues his commitment at UR-with the Catholic Student Association, with HEART (Helping Educate about AIDS in Richmond Together), and with ESL, a tuturing project !caching English as a second language to non-native speakers. ''People have an impression," he says, "that UR students grow up with perfectly happy lives, without struggle, but there are other struggles besides financial ones--cmotional and personal struggles that significantly innuencestudent'i' lives even more. If others help during your difficult times, you will help others in their times of need."

Scotto plans a career \~ith an

international focus , ma~1ie with a human rights group in a forei).\fl country, he says.

"I couldn't be satisfied without an

international component Ln my life." An Oldham Scholar, he chose UR for its small c\a<;s sizes, its warmer weather, and, as he discovered on a high school weekend, it<; friendliness.

"Everyone was friendly, from admission staff to professors. Professors here really want to know students. I claim bragging rights on that when I e-mail friends on other campuses."

Joan lewis's essay, like Scotto's, revealed a deep concern for others. It told of a classmate back in New Hampshire bullied by others twcause she was unkempt and slow to learn.

Lilura West came to scbool every tk1y witb her nose naming and berhair in a rat's 11esl. She owned two pairsoffxmts: stained and ragged yellow sweats that slopped two incbes above her ankles, and torn jeans U'ilh one hip pocket..

In reading group laura sat with the slow section. Ateacb mistake tl.Je teacher became more impatient, tbe cktss more teasing, and Laura more h;•sterica!.

The essay went on to acknowledge Lewis's own much-regretted failure to speak up in the girl's defense. "l'm always questioning what it means to be a good person, and struggling with this issue," l.c\\issays.

Lewis's trmsition to college life has not been as smooth as those of Smith and Scotto.

"I didn't find anyone to click with right away," she says. "It's easy to find people to hang out \\ith, but friendships are harder.

I've slowly found people here to talk w, people \\ith my sense of humor.·· She also expected more ethnic representation ''One good thing is, I'm constantly thinking about my politics and my philosophy. Maybe if I'd gone to a school where things were what I expected, I wouldn't have to think so much about what I believe."

Lewis is involved with the \1;/Jll Program, as well as with the campus Unitarians. She ponders an international smdies major with a minor in woman's studies and anthropolog.: "But that changes L'very day. In this as in so many other things right now, I'm just all over the place."

My'chael Jefferson chose UR because it's just across the James River from home. "'My high school friends think it's a rich kids' school, but I sec a school where you can get things done and sec results before you graduate. It's a school with opportunities to get involved and a community where people care about what you do."

"Despite what peo11le think," she declares, "there is a mix of all ~11es of people here. The racial mix is not exceptional, but there are broad social and class distinctions. You can't just look at UR and say, everyone is 'this way.' The things we do have in common are the important 1hings, like concerns about world issues."

Jefferson's essay tells of a Bosnian teenager with whom she shared a seat on a high school bus trip. Despite language difficulties and Jefferson's initial desire to sit with her own friends instead, their conversation created in Jefferson a pennanent fascination with international relations.

I want to understand my govenrnu'11t's policy towards other nations. I want to knmv why we sat hack idly and let a repeat ofWorld War II on a smaller scale occur in Bosnia. I want to understand difft-rences in cultures.

A CIG.'l"A Scholar and a Coca-Cola Scholar, Jefferson is an international studies major minoring in Spanish, with career plans in international corporate law.

Meanwhile, she mentors at H:ichmond's East End Middle School and serves on the WC."iGA as co-chair of the recreation committee for the freshman student government.

"UR is right for me," she says. "I Uke to have fun but I'm serious about my schoolwork, and everyone else here is, too. lf you come around during e.xam time, you won't see anybody out and about but the pizza man."

Stephen DuMonlis another student fascinated \\ith international affairs. l lis essay recounts a dream of a virtual reali~' trip around the world. in which history is rewritten and techn~lom1 is the hero.

He concludes: A{y exposure to this intemational community has been as vivid as tbis dream. Close relationsbips with foreign language teachers, overseas missionary relatives like my grandmother, and a Rwandan cbild I sponsored have influenced mJ' perspective on global affairs. Moreover, dun'ng the Rwandan conflict, Kuz1111gu, my sponsored chilrl, was lost.

This caused me to view the evening news in a whole new light.

"The big thing UR student~ have in common,'" says DuMont, "is that we're all overinvolved. If you tend to be

overinvolve<l, you "ll fit in here. We're the kind of people who will be juggling many different responsibilities and relationships all our lives:' A Bonner Scholar, DuMont juggles work at the L'R computer lahs \\ith his role as an RCSGA senator, participation in the lnterVarsityChristian Fellowship, and his studies. He especially appreciates the "frequent interaLtion with many of my professors--one of the primary reasons I chose UR.,.

After high school, the 21-year-old student from Minnesota spent two years in municy senice in the Atlanta

in an inner-city mission for six months. He's planning a double major in hiscory and leadership studies, and among his goals is co continue to mentor inner-city students.

Malcolm Stamper was a kid from Detroit who left a football scholarship at the University of Mkhigan to become a Richmond V-12 in

1943.

''I loved Richmond," he recalled for the University

oJRichmondMagazi11e in

1991. "The education was exceUent. The atmosphere Bunk inspec1io11 was so different from the Uni\'ersity of Michigan, \\~th ilS big classes.

I found it enchanting. Rkhmond was an excellent introduction to the educational process."

Stamper's sentiments arc shared by many Richmond V- I2s whose fond memories brought them to their first reunion in autumn 1996, more than 50 years after World War II ended.

If it hadn't been for the war, of course, there would not have been a V-12 program anywhere. What started V-12 was the realization by Navy war planners soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 that the United States would need many men and many ships to win the war.

"Navy leaders figured that the war would go on until 1949 or 1950 and would require us to invade Japan," Browning said. "The United States had a huge shipbuilding program mid needed tens of thousands of officers for all those ships."

The Navy first cre-.ated two programsthe V-7 and V-1-that allowed college students to remain in school. These programs, however, could take up to four years to produce officers for the fleettoo long, under the circumstances.

So, the Navy decided in early 1943 to create the V-12 program. V-12 was not designed to produce college graduates.

Instead, it offered participants enough college courses to become effective officers.

The V-12 program also would invoh'e colleges and uni\'ersities in the war effort-a role many, like the University of Richmond, had eagerly sought. UR President Frederic W. Boatwright announced in April 1943 that the Navy would locate a V-12 unit at the school. He also reported that this solved the school's wartime problem of maintaining enrollment and keeping the faculty intact.

The school immediately plunged into the task of accommodating the Nmy. Under a contract signed with the federal government, the University of l~ichmond agreed to house, feed and train naval officer candidates. The Na\y paid for these ser.rices mid administered the V-12 unit, providing officers and noncommissioned officers to oversee the program. The Uni\'crsity assigned two men's domiitories-Jetcr mid Thomas Halls-and Brunet Refectory to the unit. As a result, mmiy ci\ilian students had to live off campus.

While the University prepared for the new program, so did thousands of American men. Their fiTh'l task was to pass a two-hour entrance exam that tested mastery of math, science, reading, \'Ocabulary and grammar. Almost 316,000 men between the ages of 17 and 20 took the exam on April 2, 1943.

For many of those men, like then Newport News teenager W. Jennings

Culley, V-12 offered big possibilities.

"I picked the Navy,'' said Culley, amembcrofthcfirst V-12 group sent to the University. '·The V-12 program gave me choices, a way to continue my education and the chance to become an officer."

After the teslS were graded, qualifying studenL<, were assigned to unit~ and issued orders to report for V-12 duty. The first Unirersity of Richmond contingent arrived on July 1, 1943.

Many of these men already had some college cx:1>ericnce. Before die w.rr ended, in fact, Richmond's V-12 would attract students from about 55 colleges and universities. Strongly represented in the UR program were William & Mary, and Washington & Lee. These sailor/students technically were enlisted men who were officer candidates.

They wore Navy uniforms in school and were subject to naval discipline and regulations.

The Navy immediately began turning college men into sailors. Before long, the Uni\•ersity of Richmond looked and sounded like a small, landlocked Navy base. V- I2s quickly mastered the traditional slang of the sea with "left" and "right" n1ming into "port" and "starboard." ''Stairways" became "ladders"; the Navy office in the administration building became the "quarterdeck" The V-12s marched 10 meals"chow.'' When they did, the University campus echoed to the sounds of men singing wartime hits and old standbys, ranging from "Bell Bottom Trousers" to "Waltzjng Matilda."

The young men also quickly discovered the Na\T expected them to get in

(This created a slight scheduling problem for the college, which kept its civilian students on the traditional twosemester sr.,1em.) Participants carried l?hoursofclasses.

When the civilian students returned to campus in autumn 1943, the University of Richmond sailors initially got a chilly reception. lt didn't last long. n1e athletic contributions of the V- l 2s did much to break down the barriers. V- l 2s helped make University of Richmond's 1943 football team one of the best in school histOl)'- And, V- l2s made oul'itanding contributions to basketball and baseball during the war years.

NaturnUy, it didn"t take long for the young V-12 sailors to meet the female students at Westhampton College. Some officials apparently clidn 't want the groups mixing. "'The girls obviously thought differently and that made for many interesting situations," Browning recalled. "Stories were rampant-and so11Je may have been true-of lake crossings by boat late at night. Some even claim to have kept dates by swimming."

Students and V- l 2s didn't need clandestine meetings, however. The University opened a can1ecn in October 1943. n1ere, Westhan1pton students and V- 12s met often for dances at which the V-12 band provided music. Interestingly enough, the Midwinter Dance in November 1944 was postponed when 44 sailor/ student,; were quarantirted with mumps.

V-l2s, ultimately, took part in all aspects of campus life, except for the student government.

Kilpatrick, R'48and H'79, retired head of CIGNA Corp. and fonner vice rector (see p. 24). lnterestinglyenough, the Richmond V- I2s never got together to remember the war years until this past autumn. The impetus for the reunion came from Gilbert Rodgers, R'47, of Farmers Bnmch, Texas. His enthusiasm was infectious and led to the fonnation of a reunion commit-

tee, whose work was spearheaded

by Gray and Rosenthal. The reunion itself occurred in Richmond on Oct. 25.

There,the one-time sailors reminisced, renewed friendships and reconnected their tics to the University of Richmond. The school reciprocated, awarding belated letters to outstanding V-12 athletes. The sailor/ students in turn gave the school a replica of "The Lone Sailor," a statue honoring all U.S. sailors at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.

By any measure, the V-12 program in general-and the University of Richmond unit specifically-was a success, contributing not only to the war effort of the 1940s but also to the nation in the post-war years.

"TI1c V-12 did a lot for us, a lot for the Navy and a lot for the country," said Culley. "It gare the Navy a chance 10 produce qualified officers quickly. II gave a chance for a college education to a lot of people who never would have had such a chance. After the war, many of us took advantage of the GI Bill to get degrees. It opened so many opponunities to so many people that I'd ha\e to call it a success."

ALUMNI PROFILE Investigating retail companies As one of the hest•known retail analysts around, Kenneth M. Gassman Jr., 8'67, likes to ge1 out and "kick the tires"on his beat, setting aside time each week to visit the stores he e\'aluates for Dan:npon & Company of Virginia And what does a thorough analyst look for when he goes shopping for informa1ion?

"I look at a lot ofthings,~'Uch as customer service, but the one thing that almost without fail tdls me what kind of re1ailer they're going to be?The bathrooms," Gassman says with a smile during a late• afternoon intervi<.•w at a place where he feels quite at home - a mall foo<l coun."Dirty bathrooms are a bad sign. Clean bathrooms show attention to detail.

"And retail is detail."

Not much gets past Gassman.At &foot-8, little goes over his head either.

In the securities business since 1981,Gassman is senior vice president at Davenport.While many analysts arc known only to clients of their firms and competitors, Gassman has developed a high public profile by regularly offering his insight to regional and national media. He is quoted in The Willi Street Journal, Forbes, Husincss \fleck and The IJ'asblngton Posl,amongnational publications The reason is simple:he knows what he's talking ahom and he says it in a straightforward, appealing way.

'Ken is respected among business reporters because he gives them the straight facts in understandable words and he doesn't dish om the same old dog food ,"says Gregory J. Gilligan, who covers the retail industry for the Richmond Times-Dispatch Some analysts merely look at the financial results of a company or an industry, Gilligan says, hut not Gassman "He goes beyond the numbers and get;, out in stores and in the malls," Gilligan says."Doing so giws him a true sense of what is happening in the industry and that allows him to better articulate it."

Gassman enjoys his reputation as a good quote, but downplays its importance. On the txmom line, it means little if anything to his finn. he says. Picking more winners than losers in the stock market b the onlv true measure of success in the securities business. · It's not surprising. though, that Gassman is skillful at investigating companies, inlef\'iewing chief executive officers, cashiers and customers, writing detailed reports and dealing wi1h the media; he thought at one time he might be a journalist.

He worked summers for his hometown Culpeper (Va.) Star,Exponent, shooting photographs and writing feature stories, and was a photographer for The lrtb . lie was enrolled in the University's journalism program under

the legendary Joe Nettles when, as a sophomore, he had a change of heart and decided IO enter - as he likes to pm it - the"bidness school."

Gassman was an A student, majoring in finance and marketing.

He graduated in June of 1967, was married in July to Mary-Bolling Willis,W'67, and staned his first job in August. It was almost by script He worked in retail and ad\Tnising for 15 years before being hired

by Richmond 's Wllt'at First Securities Inc.in 1981. He moved to rival Davcnpon in 19()1 Over the years, he's had the opponunity to speak with manr CEOs about their companies.The conversation always boils down to three basic questions about the company, Gassman says: • Whoareyou1 • Where arc you going?

• How arc you going to get there?

"A good CEO can answer the first two questions in 30 seconds and the last one in two minutes or less," Ga55man sars."lfthey can't do it in that, they ptohab!y don't ha\·e a good idea of where they're going or how they're going to get there.'

Gassman seems to have a good idea where he's going - and where he's been. He says he's always striven to balance life among his job,his family and his volunteer work He's currently chair of 1heAnnual FWid for the E. Oaibome Robins School of Business and is a member of the school's alumni association board. He serves on the board of United Methodist family Services, which helps troubled families.And he works with Guardian Place Housing, whidi provides housing for low-income elderly residents on the campus of Uni1ed Methodist Family Services in Richmond.

Ile and his wife, who have known each other since the first grade bll! didn 't date until they were students at the University, ha\·e three grown daughters - .\1ary Hart,Elizabeth,W'93, and Mackenzie - and are due to become grandparents this spring. for someone with the gift of gah who seems to enjoy peopk and like~ to tra\'el, Gassman says he actually is an introven who relishes his privacy. His wife is, too. So, the Gass mans live outside Richmond, at the end ofa grave! road in the woods ofllanover County. Gassman spends a considerable amount of time in the basement with his woodworking equipment.

And what does he make?

"A lotofsawdust ," he says with a smile •

Building a career in finance AskWaldoAbbot,B'71, what meal he most would like to share with Dr.W Da,id Robbins, former dean of the E. C'laibor=Robins School of Business, and he probably will respond with a smile and one word~ ' chi(ken.• For the annual April Fool's trick on

the dean, Abbot. president of the busi.oess school's Student Government Association his senior year, bought two dozen Jin: <:hickens at Richmond's

Farmers' Market and set them loose in Robbins's officc:J spent all morning vrJiting to ht rnlkd from dass:Abbot remembers.

But Hobbins nc·vcr summoned Abbot Instead, when Abbot returnd.l to his C1tst,·it:w apartment in tht: afternoon, he found a Rfcb111011d Times-mspatc/J photographer Waiting for hlnt •·me dean had hired some guys to catch the chkkt:ns in hb office and depo~it the birds in my lpartment where they ha<l spent the dar.TI1e dean's office was pretty disgUsting.'

And Abbot's apartment] 'fa·cn more disgusting than 1he dean's office!'Abbot re<:alls.

The photographer snapped a shot of Robbins and Abbot holding tht poultry, which ran in both the new~paper :tnd TTk Wfb "I thi nk it ·was the fi.rst time Dr. Robbins successfully turned the tables on the stu<ltnL~," Abbm laughs ::-l"ow a managing director and deputy group executive of Chase Manhattan's global media and telecommunications group in New York, Abbot rtrnembers Dr. Robbins as '"quite a ch:l.raLter. He was our window to life after Richmond. Ile was always then: rem.in ding us that in two years we were going to have £O deal With the real world, so we needed to be prrpared ' Ile had a lot to do with roy going w V?harton. He knew I wanted to work in finance on Wall Street and he rtC(;ignized the need for me to illl\·e the best possibk bridge between undergraduate school and Wall Streel.'"

On Ws summer break in the graduate program at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, Abbot worked with U.S. Sen. Abrnham Ribikoffs staff on the L'volving Eurocurrency markeL'l and their effect on >"ariou~ fortign economics, hclJJing the Senate Financt Committee write and publish a report on the subject This experience fueled his interest in currencies and intcmati<mal finance, which Dr. Robert Partain and Dr. Fayne Edwards had ignited at UR. Abbot joined Chemical Bank after receiving hiS MBA fromWharton.Chemicalscmhim in 19i6toBrussels, where he set up a foreign exdungc advisory group for the bank. After three years in Brussels, he spent three years in Tokyo. where he earned his stripes as a "banker's banker; respomihlt for lending and corporate finance

with multinational corporations.

Then he returned to the Chemical Bank headquarters in New York, where he set up the bank's high technology b'fOup to handle kn ding and corporate finance for all types of organizations from the small start-up operations in Silicone Valle\'toIBM. 'In the mid- to late 'SOS, banking began to change.There was a convergence between the Wall Street firms and money cemer banking, to the point that the two beiµn to compete in each other's businesses '\'iTe saw a lot of mergers and acquisitions in that period. Chemical acquired Manufacturers Hanover, 1bcn merged with Chase Manhattan to form the largest banking operation in the country."

Abbot has worked -.vith the same institution for 24 years in "a multitude of jobs. Every four or five years, I've had the opportunity to do something different.

I've virtually lived on a vertical learning curve most of my career- that's been one of the most attractive aspects about my work."

He cites a lesson learned from Robbins as one of the reasons for his success."When you take a job, you're being given an opporrunity and for the first couple of years yoti arc taking more than you are giving.TI1en,at some poiut,ifyou'vc performed well, you earn the right to he given some other opportu• nity. A good organization recognizes that it's in its interest to keep challenging you.

"Dr. Robbins taught Jlle that you have to earn that right. He taught that nothing is given to you.but there is very little beyond your reach when you put your mind to it: The f1rst tiOJeAbbot returned to UR,hc came as a recruiter. Howernr, he also has been on campus as a \isiting lecturer."What I roost valued as a student was that the faculty took what we were learning academically and integrated it with real world txamples.They gave the material relevance of practice over thL'Dry. l try to cmphasi7e practice."

Abbot and his wife, the former Marci Barr,have two children, 13,year-oldAshton and eight•vear-0ld Mack.

They live in Greenwich. Conn. · A member of the University's Boanl ofAssociates, Abbot has been instrumental in establishing a Rector's Club chapter for the Cniversityin New York City. At one of the group·s fl.rst meetings, Dean Randolph New brought a photograph from a significant e\·ent in the business school"s hlsto!'}'lt showed Dr. Robbins andAbbot holding tht chickens w

E. Claiborne Robins School of Business alumni association president, Cynthia M."Cyndi"Weidkr, lf78,says she is "pleased with the planned rcnO\'lltion" ofthebusinessschool.

"The University recognizes the need toupgradeitstechnicalcapabilities Each classroom will be equipped to handle the computer technology the students need to be able to compete in today's business environment.

"Technology is a key component to succeedinginthe21stcentury. J'm really excited to see our business school create classrooms that are conducfre 10 learning in today's world."

Weidler clearly loves her alma matt·r. She says,·We arc one of the finest undergr.1duate business schools in the country and we arc diligently promoting this well-kept secret."

Weidler works tirdessly to tell the story. One of the emphases of her presidency is an 0111reach program aimed at alumni groups outside of Richmond She and other representatives from tht alumni association have visited Tidewater and Northern Virginia In May, she and Dean Randolph New will take their message to New York City, where there ls the second largest contingent of business school alumni.They ,viii offer updates about the renovation and renew graduates· ties to UR. "I think it's very imponant to have strong communications between the alumni and the school - its faculty, students and staff. It's imponant to keep the connection alh-e,rokeepthrbondintact "Those of us who live in Richmond tend to be somewhat myopic in our vision of the University. Hut, we have alumni all across the countr}' and thry are an integral part of our alumni family. · in our outreach effons, we update our alumni on the businrss school and the University community, we listen to their concerns and answer their many questions, and we share the spirit of the University of Richmond with them.Wt rncourage graduates to promote the University and the business school in their communities "Continued im-ol"ement after graduation is imponant We encourage alumni to talk to their peers, neighbors and friends in their communities about the University of Richmond.We hopr they will rncourage their children and their friends ' children to consider 1he University of Richmond whrn choosing a college.'

Vice president of commercial banking for Central Fidelity Bank in Richmond,Weidler has bern in banking

sincehergraduationwith a degrte in finance and marketing. Before joining Central Fidelitylastyear, she was associated with Signe! Hank for ninr years,rising to vice president Earlier,shewasabranchmanager with United Virginia Hank, now Crestar.

Weidler came to the Uni~·ersity of Richmond from Virginia Beach, whcreshegraduatedfromthe Norfolk Academy "My mom liked the idea that I'd be going to somewhat of a girls' school. I absolutely lo\·ed the campus, and the school had a good scholastic rrputation. Coming from NorfolkAcademy, where classes are small,! thought a Duke or a U.\'a. might ha,·e overwhelmed me. So, the size, the curriculum and thr setting sold me on thr Unh'ersity,' she remembers.

She launched her alumni career while she was ao undergraduate, working on her first telt::thon for the Annual Fund.

•1 enjoyed talking with alumni and friends about the University and soon disco\·ercd I could raise a few dollars, 100! " she laughs. lnthenearlytwodecadessincehergraduation, she has returned to work on numerous telethons, to lead committers, and to servr as treasurer as well as president of the business school alumni association bornl.

Shesaysemhusiastically,"lbcstaffin1healumni office is top-notch.They makt: your involvement enjoyable and rewarding through their constant support.lbey have a well-run organi1..ation with a quality staff."

Weidler offers her talents to other effons in Richmond, too. Currently, she serves on thr board for the Hand Workshop Art Crnter and she was its president two years ago.As treasurer of Andrew's Buddies, she helps raise funds to suppon research into spinal muscular atrophy. She helps wi{h fund• rnising and membership efforts with the Richmond Chamber of Commrrce, also "I enjoy giving and I enjoy being invoh•cd," she explains. "The University of Richmond is close 10 my heart, long after being a student. Our newly renovated business school will be an incrtdible place for our students to learn, our faculty to teach and our alumni to visit."

Coordinating student internships in finance FraskrW Brickhouse If, B'Sfl and GB'97,

says the proposed renovation of the E. (.:Jaibome Robins School of Business facilities "will make the University of

Richmond more r.:ompctitfre in the

undergraduate program.

"It's really going to be a wonderful tlring! The technological improvements

will make UR one of the top-notch undergraduate busioess schools in the country;' he says.

Brickhouse is in dose touch v.ith the

business school these days. He not only serves on the finance comn\ittce of the business school alumni as~iation boanl; he recently completed his MBA there. ~we serve tht local Richmond area's m:irktt with our

graduate school, and the renovation certainlr will improve our graduate program," he continues.

"I'm excited that the renovation will assure that the

low student-to-teacher ratio will be maintained.The classrwms will be structured to encourage studentteacher inter-,1ctiot1.lbe student gets morr out of an interactive approach than from a pure lecture.• Asenior financial analysl with Tredegar Jnduslries in Richmond, Hrickhousc has become a h.1' liaison between the University and his employer, which sponsors an internship program and scholarships at UR He coordinates the cwo salaried internships for Lill business student,<; at Tredegar, a diversified manufacturer of plastic films and aluminum and vinyl extrusions, which spun off from Ethyl Corp.in 1989.

Since joining Tredegar in 1993,he has worked with five UR student interns. One intern went on to pursue a graduate degree at Duke Unh·ersity; other Tredegar interns have accepted positions with Arthur Andersen and Peat Marwick.

The students serve their internships during the summer, when they work with Hrickhousc in the corporate finance department on a variety of special projects. Hrickhouse helps select each year"s intt:ms from the pool of applicants.

Internships are a.key elemt:nt of tht: grov.ing illleractive endeavors between UR and the Richmond business community. 'l think it is important for the Unfrer~ity to reach out !O businesses in the community to form partnerships Our students haYe benefited from local business men and women who bring rt:al-life situations into the classrooms," Britkhouse explains.

A graduate of Chesterfield County"s .\Iatoaca High School, Brickhouse came to UR as a CIGNA Scholar in the fall of 198'1. His applic:ition to the L'niversity came hy

i me to apply. It was so late [in the

application process] that she li1erallv drm·e my application 10 the admis~ion office; Brickhouse remembers with a warm chuckle.

At the timt:,Mrs. Bowt:n was new to Richmond.A former high school guidance counselor, she was working as a part-time financial aid resource consultant with the Greater RichmondArea Scholarship Program (GRASP), Begun by an employee with the Richmond Oty Public SChools, GRASP works to get corporate funding for deserving students to attend college and helps the students apply for the aid "In Frasicr,I saw a young man eminently qualified for college.With Zeddie at the University of Richmond, I knew about the UGNA program and I thought Frasier would he a great mat(ht .\frs. Bowen recalls.

Brickhouse savs he had pot considered applying to UR until .\lrs. hen "talked me into it' he cause he had not heard much about the University.

The CIGNA Corp. Scholars Program, designed for ac..idemically talented African-American students with the drivt: to be leaders, nude UR mort: attr-.i.ctive to Brickhouse."1l was a prh'ate school and finances were a consideration,' he says. His brother, Duane, is now a CIGNA Scholar in the Jepson School of Leadership Studies, a member of the Class of 1998 Brickhouse has been involved in the University's efforts to better attract and serve minority students.As an undergraduate student,he served on the commit· tee that initiated an office for minority services and hired Dr.Tina Cade to direct it \Vhile in the business school, he was particularly impressed with accounting faculty members Dr. Ray Slaughter and Joe &n Hoyle. Hrickhouse, a CPA, credits the two professors for his early success on the certification cxan1.

Before going to Tredegar and graduate school, Brickhouse worked at Coopers & Lybrand. He also helped with the CIGNA mentor progr-,1m,Junior Achievement, and the RichmondYMCA's mentoring program fur high school students. He served as treasurer of the Richmond chapter of the National Association ofBlackAccountants His career and alumni efforts keep him busy, but Brickhouse·s favorite moments are spem with his wife, the former Kimberly Batts, and their cwo--yearold, Frasier II[ , better known asTrry.

RICHARD MORRILL: AN EXCEPTIONAL LEADER Several years ago my wife Jane and I were traveling in France and Italy with our good friends Rich and ,\lartha ,\1orrill. Again and

again on that trip, I was struck with what an exceptional guide Rich was. As we traveled about the south of Fmncc, Rich spoke the

language flawlessly, he always knew the lay of the land and he constantly led us to places we would never have visited without him

In short, he was doing over there exactly what he docs so well back here at home:

leading 1he way.

I've always thought how appropriate it was that Rich Morrill should have presided

over the opening of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies, the nation's first such leadership school, because Rich himself has turned out to be one of the great university

leaders in che country From the first day he arrived on this campus, it was clear' that Rich spoke 1he language well: he is first and foremost an academic. His own origins,as well as his future plans, are academic through and through. I believe that his ability to speak that academic language has brought an interesting harmony to the campus, and it has resulted in many academic and cultural advances as well.

For instance, during the ,\lorrill administration, the University has enlarged its financial aid and scholarship budget from S5 million to $13 million, increased all its meri1 scholarship programs, and added the $6.2 million Bonner Scholars program.

During Rich"s tenure, the University"s full-time faculty grew from 228 to 281, the number of women facultv from 54 to 91,and the number of minority fitculty from 9 to 29 The average faculty salary increased from $38,333 to $63,700, placing UR in the 5th- to I 0th-percentile in the AAUP national salary survey.

Beyond statistics, what I will remember most are the consistent stances he took in board meetings in support of higher academic standards and stronger faculty I recall the total faculty involvement in the

planning and construction of the George M Modlin Center for the Arts.There has been no greater voice for a thriving and varied faculty role on this campus than Rich"s.

Rich Morrill is also going to be a tough ac1 to follow when it comes to strategic planning. I've ne,路er known anyone with a better capacity to plan.The basis of that, I think, is that he thoroughly understands the concept of higher education: the role of a uni,-crsity, how it functions, its place, its mission As an alumnus, I have particularly appre ciatcd Rich"s interest in the University's historv, and his determination to intera路eavc what has been with what will be; the integration of old and new in the Modlin Center is a perfect example.

As a matter of fact, the arts center is representative of what has taken place here on i\.lorrill's watch.The idea of a first-class center for the arts-exceptional facilities for the outstandin)!; arts programs we already had-,vas entirely Rich's,and the Board of Trustees enthusiasticallr supported the concept Then there 's the Jepson School, which i\.lorrill inaugurated with a great splash of

national publicity. Immediately after was the 1992 presidemial debate; Rich saw the benefits to that effort right away, committed to it, and raised the first round of money himself in IO days.The University was center stage nationally for days.Then came the alumni house.an opportunity Hich did not create but certainly seized Obviously. we can't credit Rich with everything good that has happened at this university in the past decade, but some things, like the Modlin Celller, are obviously due to his dreams and commitment. And certainly most of what has taken place here in the last few years has been touched by his style of leadership. lt"s no fluke that the largest capital campaign in the Cniversity"s history, 'Unfolding the Promise," raised$ 164 million - JO percem beyond its goal - concluding a year and a half early. It 路s no accident that the total l'niversil\' assets have mo,-ed to just under one billion dollars, that alumni participation in giving has gone from 28 percent to 41 percenL that the endowment has increased to $600 million. For a man who majored in religious thought, Rich ,\lorrill is a first-rate businessman He has certainly led the war for the board and for me as \VdL .\tine has been a comfortable job, because I have been kept well informed and any surprises have been mostly positive ones. His decision to retire is not a surprise to me because we have been in discussion about it for more than six months.The announcement, however, makes me focus on how difficult it will he to replace his exceptional leadership and vision.

As for Rich, he leaves offit路e at an auspicious time, with the Cniversity poised for a new level of achievement. President .\-lorrill"s crowning contribution has been to bring us to this point, to raise to a very high national level the academic profile of the Universitv of Richmond.That and all that il encompasses will be his greatest legacy. ij
